It's all happening tonight in Glasgow. I've got FOUR invitations to FOUR amazing events all happening around the city. Sadly, I also have to work later than usual and I'm only going to manage one (or maybe two?) of them.

City Centre
First up we have the opening night of Scottish Ballet's Autumn Season at the Theatre Royal. A double bill featuring Pennies from Heaven, a playful, uplifting work steeped in the vintage glamour of the 1930s and a new work created for Scottish Ballet by Boston Ballet’s Resident Choreographer Jorma Elo, Kings 2 Ends. It's curtain up at 7.30pm tonight so there's no chance of me making it along to this one, but thank you to the gorgeous Ann for the invitation.If any of you out there fancy something magical this weekend, tickets can be purchased here.

Hillhead
If you're out the west end this evening, The Only Way Is Glasgow, is sure to be a top night. A Fashion event dedicated to Glasgow style with all proceeds going towards Spirit Aid. Tickets are a tenner and everything kicks off at 7pm at Oran Mor. Again, I'm not gonna make this one...

Partick
Rachel Dill and Lucy O'Donovan are throwing a private view of their new exhibition 'People and Places' tonight at the Big Mouth Cafe on Dumbarton Road. This is one I'm definitely going to make. It's from 6-9pm if anyone fancies popping in. If you can't make it tonight, the show runs until 29th November.

City Centre
Did someone say Lock-in?? All the students are back in town and to celebrate, vintage emporium Tatty-Bon are hosting a Freshers Lock-in from 5-8pm. If you're up the Trongate, pop into the shop on Parnie Street for a good rummage and wee cheeky Lambrini! Spend over £10 and get 15% discount. Customised clothes and handmade jewellery galore!

A wee birdy tells me that Urban Outfitters are doing the same. Personally, I'm gonna skip the high street and head to Tatty-Bon instead - I suggest you do too!
